Re: [Tutor] Available filetypes for AskSaveasfilenam in Tkinter?

[Wayne Watson]

Continuing.  The code that is eventually used to do the save is: ===================     def SaveGIF(self):         if self.current_path:             default_path = splitext(basename(self.current_path))[0] + ".gif"             path = asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".gif",                                      title="Save as GIF",                                      initialfile=default_path,                                      filetypes=GIF_FILE_TYPES)         else:             path = asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".gif",                                      title="Save as GIF",                                      filetypes=GIF_FILE_TYPES):         if not path:             return         gif = self.current_image.convert("RGB")         gif.save(path) ================== I would think convert makes the conversion. If so, then it must know a lot of formats. How do I know which ones it has available? If it has a small set, is there some way to find another "convert" that produces, say, a 'pcx" formated file. Apparently, "RGB" and "GIF" mean the same thing. Seems a bit odd.

[...] All asksaveasfilename does is give you a filename/path. You then have to open the file and write the data to it. It's up to you to make sure the data is in the right format.. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg. W, 39.26 Deg.
